Patient's question:
Got pregnant on our first time having sex with my boyfriend. We didn't want a child. Since finding out, I've wanted to get an abortion as soon as possible. But now I have a cold, and I don't know how to proceed. Can I get an abortion with a cold?Doctor's answer:
If you have a cold, you cannot have an abortion. On the day of the surgery, your temperature must be checked twice and found to be above 37.5°C, or if you have acute or chronic diseases, these are contraindications for the surgery. You need to be treated and fully recovered before the surgery can be performed. Since you currently have a cold, the surgery cannot proceed. This is because an abortion can already weaken the body's resistance, making it easier for the disease to recur. Currently, the illness is not yet resolved.
